A few months after this awesome find, I thought of something I could do with some of the pieces.

I had Mr DIY marry the above pieces into a 3-legged plant stand. After gluing the two half rounds together with wood glue and clamping it until dry, he used large bolts to attach the 3 legs. That ensured that this DIY plant stand would be sturdy.

I pulled out my favorite white chalk paint and gave it a couple of coats with my much-loved and well-used Purdy brush. The short handle makes getting into tight corners so much easier!

When the weather is nice (like our Spring has been), I love to paint outside!

Once the paint was dry, I used a sanding sponge to lightly distress small areas.

The last step was to wax the top just to give it a little protection. Lately I've been loving using white wax over my white painted projects...less chance of yellowing!

And just like that, this darling plant stand was created!

This was a fun trash to treasure project, but the story doesn't end here!

Sorry for the cliff-hanger, but you'll want to stick around for the happy ending...I'll be sharing Part 2 of this DIY recycle at the end of the week.

I hope all you moms had a blessed Mother's Day! I was delighted to help create photo booths at our church for Sunday...here's a little peek....
